1803. Tensions are escalating again between England and France.
While the Royal Navy launches reconnaissance, rescue missions and spies on the continent, French privateer ships are lurking in English waters poised to strike at British trade. Smugglers, perilous storms and a treacherous coastline all threaten to overcome HMS Teazer as her men fight to gain control of the seas around Cornwall and Devon.
Meanwhile an unlikely rival is seeking her captain s heart. The beautiful and determined admiral s daughter could be the key to realising all Kydd s hopes and ambitions. But high society, he finds, can be as treacherous as his first mistress the sea.
